I have been on ...I am the bluesman Watermelon Slim. I have been on my knees at the Crossroads, and been robbed, beaten and left for dead, hours after my first stop there (Hiroshima Day, August 6, 1999). <br /><br />I will be taking students there, as I occasionally do, in October, and I will also take them to his grave in Greenwood. I have recorded with Robert Johnson's great nephew, James Johnson, AKA Super Chikan, of Clarksdale, MS, where I also live. Okiesippi Blues is the title of the CD.<br /><br />The blues is a lowdown shakin' chill.
